OK, I talked to my Aunt Nancy today, she is a Pfromm, from the Detroit area, she says, to her knowledge, the only Charles we had in our family was a Vaden. But he could have very easily changed his name to Pfromm, since a lot of the other boys were changing their last names to Pfromm, for various reasons.
My Grandmother Jewell Pfromm, was married once before my grandfather, to a Jelenik. So her names would have been Jewell Vaden Jelenik Pfromm
She had 4 kids prior to marrying my grandfather, Roger Pfromm
1. Robert, changed his last name to Pfromm from Jelenik
2. David, unsure if he changed his last name to Pfromm
3. Darlene (married, is now a Nikki.)
4. Jewell Jelenik (also known as Snooky)
Ralph Pfromm was my grandfather's twin, there were 3 more kids from Freddrick and Clara, 1 died at 8 years old, and another set of twins died at birth.
Jewells dad, Virgil Vaden, moved to Michigan after his wife died during childbirth, they lived in Tennessee before moving to Michigan. My aunt is unsure of Virgils wifes name.
Jewell & Roger Pfromm went on to have more kids,
Nancy
Dennis(Roger)
Ralph(Butch)
Becky and I forget the others...sorry.
Our dad is Dennis(Roger) he has been married so many times, that I have no clue where to start, he has been known to claim as many as 21 kids. 7 ex-wifes at last count.
The kids we are sure of are:
1 Peter Pfromm, divorced no kids.
2 Bill Pfromm, married with 3 daughters, Katelyn, Amber and Grace
3 Aaron Pfromm, deceased, 2 biological daughters Tina & Natalie, 1 step daughter Sarah
4 Shawn Pfromm, 3 kids, son Garrett, daughters Emily and Allysa
5 Nancy Pfromm...me! 1 son, Devin and a step son Chandler
6 Nicole Pfromm, no kids, can't find her :(
7 Matthew Pfromm, 1 daughter Reaven
8 Michael Pfromm, can't find him
9 Dennis (Shannon) Pfromm, can't find him either
10 Zack Pfromm, think I found him, still waiting to hear for sure though, he's too young to have kids yet...lol...he's 6 weeks younger than our oldest boy Devin.
As you sit there scratching your head, probably confused beyond all get out, you'll realize that it is a big family. And if there is a Pfromm in the Detroit area, we are most likely related some how. No matter how far you have to chase the bloodline back, if you're a Pfromm...from Michigan, you are somehow related to the rest of us.
So, welcome aboard! How's it feel to gain a few hundred relatives you had no clue existed?
